And world over the speed is going to be one critical element as Kishore Biyani said speed@though NOT light and this will certainly be the change agent. I truly believe that any Neo models shall refer the Multi-Cultural and Multi-Ethnic routes to ensure its success and redefining the classic assumptions as new techniques.

India's is not a country of only snake charmers and slums but its a nation that has order in chaos, it has diversity in unity and it has a legacy as old as human civilization. It's only matter of recognising it and exploring a bit. The discussion will continue...
